About this home

This house is your invitation! Most listings sell square footage. This one sells a decision: keep buying vegetables at the store, or start growing your own. Almost a full acre, right here in Indianapolis. That's not just a yard - it's a head start. Raised garden beds are already built. Landscaped areas are already in place. Mature trees give the whole property a peaceful, tucked-away feel most city lots can't offer. Out back, a two-story barn adds real flexibility - storage for garden tools, potting supplies, hobby gear, seasonal projects, whatever comes next. And when the work is done for the day, a generous deck and in-ground fire pit turn the backyard into a place people actually want to gather. Inside, restored original hardwood floors and original windows bring warmth and character that new construction can't fake. Thoughtful updates keep the home comfortable and move-in ready, without sanding away its personality. It's Craftsman charm with everyday functionality - a rare combination. The unglamorous essentials are handled, too: water heater, HVAC system, refrigerator, well pressure tank and switch, and electrical meter have all been replaced within the last five years. The basement has been professionally waterproofed. This is the kind of maintenance nobody notices - until it's missing. This home has been meticulously cared for and is ready for its next chapter. For anyone who's been quietly dreaming about homegrown herbs, cut flowers, country-style living and room to create - this is a rare Indianapolis find.

Estimates only. This calculator does not give a quote. Defaults reflect Marion County / Indianapolis averages: property tax from this home's actual county bill, homeowners insurance at 0.42% annually. Conventional: PMI runs 0.55% of the loan annually when your down payment is below 20%, and drops automatically at 22% equity. Your real number depends on credit, taxes assessed for the parcel, escrow, condo insurance, and HOA. Rates as of May 2026 and subject to change.
